Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

Step 1:

Prep your ingredients. Rinse the pork and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2:

Cut the pork into pieces across the grain.
Step 3:

Pour the vegetable oil into a good-sized pan (I used a large sauté pan), heat it up, and add the pork to sear.
Step 4:

Dice the onion.
Step 5:

Stir the pork so it browns evenly.
Step 6:

Add the onion to the pork and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Step 7:

Once the onion is soft, add the flour, stir well, and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
Step 8:

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the tomato paste (or sauce, whichever you prefer). Mix and heat through for a couple of minutes.
Step 9:

Pour in 500 ml (about 2 cups) of boiling water so the pork keeps cooking. Stir, cover, and simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring now and then. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Step 10:

Your fragrant pork gravy is ready. The meat is wonderfully tender and aromatic. Serve hot over any side dish.
Step 11:

Enjoy!
